Dead British Soldier's Father Testifying to US Congress
The father of a British soldier killed in Iraq will today fly to Washington where he will give evidence to a Congressional hearing into the conflict.

Reg Keys, whose son Tom was one of six Red Caps killed by a mob, will also address a rally outside the White House.

Both events will take place tomorrow ahead of a petition signed by 500,000 Americans against the war being handed into the Bush administration.

The Congressional hearing, called by Democratic congressman John Conyers, is studying claims that President George Bush made up his mind to attack Iraq a year before the conflict started.

2. Isn't that the brave man who challenged Tony Blair...
...in his own constituency? It was so amazing to see Mr. Keys giving a harsh speech about how his son was killed in an unnecessary war while Tony Blair had to stand in the background and watch.
